Game Thread: Lions vs Chiefs. Thursday night season opener.

[Black Adam]

The Chiefs without Jones and Kelce would be in a difficult situation. That would make this game a definite 'do not bet.'

Meh, ain't too worried...yet. Mahomes has won playoff games with scrubs for receivers...

Have you been to Vegas before? If you stay at the MGM go to the Omelet House on Boulder Highway. Great food & the best country fired steak & eggs I've ever had. Also if you stay at the MGM the road behind is Koval Lane. If Ellis Island casino is the still same good food.

And never play an slot machines in the front of the casinos. Not many winners on those. If you're superstitious the numbers on the roulette wheel add up to 666. Best odds are on craps.

Been to Vegas a handful of times. This will be my 5th or 6th time I believe. I've stayed at Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Flamingo, Treasure Island & Excalibur... Never stayed at MGM so I appreciate the recommendations!

I reserve roulette and Pai Gow for when I'm really down on my luck & want to just drink while not losing much per hand lol. You can coast for hours on those games. Craps is fun when you have a good group of people at the table. I've been to a few that had assholes hassling my bets or rolls. Its craps man... Basically luck is everything. It's not like in cards when bad strategy affects others.

He has but you're basically resting the game on the ability of MVS and probably Skyy Moore catching the football in really key spots.

I think the Chiefs might need some 'are they done?' media stories this year at some point. Chiefs seem to have an extra gear when they think they're the underdog

I wouldn't be against Mahomes. He and Reid are probably two of the best candidates to do more with less. But, while Mahomes has won playoff games with scrubs as wideouts, he hasn't had to do it without Kelce. This would be a new test for him. Then again, if you have to try it, you might as well give it a go against the Lions pass D.

He'll put the Eagles at #2, so it doesn't look biased

I'm hoping for the Eagles to be #2 - in game one!

If that happns, RTK will be moving for awhile like Tgann, don'tt hink he has settled yet. He should go by OldSchool's place to see if still kicking. If so he probably changed his team because of 8ball

Looks like Kelce is out for tonight’s game. It will be interesting to see how that affects the Chiefs offense. I’m still picking the Chiefs to win, I think some of their young receivers will emerge this season and make plays. Chris Jones being out is a bigger concern for the Chiefs to me, because their pass rushers are very young and he is a big presence on the D-Line who will be missed.
